I was writing this poem
about you
when I remembered to
take out the trash.

and
we are the sacrilegious baptizing
saints, flinching away
from rosaries and counting
sidewalk cracks
1: "If they don't, I'll be mad at them, in my head."
2: "Just in your head?"
1: "Well, at first."
2: "Well, it's got to start somewhere!"
It really is quite a feeling
I'm a black hole
and I can't stop hoping
That one of these days will be what I expected

It really is quite a sensation
I'm scared shitless
Merely at the thought of living

It really is pitiful
How much hope I have
For a future that brings nothing
Be on the ambiance
Beyond the ambulance
Free on the other wind
Bleed out the open wound
Beast our burden open wine
Ticking clocks seizing
Second hand sinking
Serenade the sadness
